Today's quote:

"The march had started with Mussolini and had gained terrible momentum with Hitler and was being carried forward by Franco. For most young people there was a feeling of frustration, but some determined to do anything that seemed possible, even if it meant death, to try to stop the spread of fascism."

Jack Jones (Liverpool docker who joined the International Brigades and later became the leader of Britain’s biggest trade union, the Transport & General Workers’ Union)
